Philodendron (Showboat/Monstera) Losing Leaves, Brown Tips? Indirect Light, Monthly High-Nitrogen Feed, Mist for Humidity

Large philodendron lost all leaves, regrows but tips brown and die. Repotted last week. New one doing okay but outer leaves lack luster. Feeds Miracle-Gro. Suggestions?

Standard Philodendron Care

• No direct light—bright indirect only.
• Moderately moist, never wet.
• High-nitrogen soluble fertilizer monthly.
• Mist leaves frequently (simulates humidity).

Why It Struggles

Direct light, over/under watering, or low humidity cause tip burn and leaf loss. The new plant's dull outer leaves suggest it's adjusting.

Simple Routine Works

Philodendrons are forgiving. Stick to the basics above; it will recover.
